In: Tropical AgricultureSummary: Se desarrollo una tecnica rapida de propagacion de yuca mediante la induccion de la germinacion de estacas de 2 nudos, un nudo y medio nudo. Se determino que entre los diferentes tratamientos el uso de las estacas de medio nudo es el mas eficiente. En un ano se obtuvieron 647 plantas y 3.235 estacas de tallo (20 cm. de longitud) de una sola planta inicial, de 2 tallos. (RA-CIAT)Summary: A rapid propagation technique was developed by inducing sprouting of 2-node, single-node and half-node cuttings of cassava. Of the different treatments, the use of half-node cuttings was found to be the most efficient. In one yr, 647 plants and 3235 stem cuttings (20 cm long) could be developed from a single plant with 2 stems. (AS)
